grahamh Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 Leroy Bennett's plots for the Janet Jackson tour are stunning as you'd expect, but what I'm stuck on is how to get my plot views looking half that good. I've been messing around with settings all night and I can't even get close. What am I missing? Quote Link to comment
Kevin McAllister Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 They look like they're just using Hidden Line rendering. It doesn't look like there's any shadowing like you would get with OpenGL or by layering Custom Renderworks and Hidden Line. They've overridden the line weights to make them all the same which makes it look nice and clean. You need to be working with your attributes "By Class" to do this. Its done in the Classes dialog for a sheet layer viewport. They've also overridden the line colour. It could be using Classes or perhaps Layer colours. The views themselves are likely using the Renderworks camera to define the point of view, probably from actual camera positions or predefined audience pov's. Kevin Quote Link to comment
Mark Aceto Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 (edited) Yep. Looks like they also added a subtle artistic style to the edges. However, the more salient point is that we still don't have Tyler GT truss symbols yet. http://www.tylertruss.com/product/gt.php Upstaging just drew their own cad blocks from scratch. Top of the wish list. Edited January 26, 2016 by Mark Aceto Quote Link to comment
djobbins Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Yeah I was able to cook up some home-brew HUD truss symbols as well. If you take the time, it's not painful bad of an endeavor. Quote Link to comment
Michael Schroeder Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Here is library of GT Truss from Tyler: https://www.dropbox.com/s/pacz0weybnww5ej/GT%20Vectorworks%20v2016.vwx?dl=0 Quote Link to comment
NickSolyom Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 I personally don't find the "sameness" to be clean. Different line weights are supposed to draw attention to the parts of the drawing that are important. Quote Link to comment
